I mean it's just embarrassing. Is she a failed rock chick? Am I meant to join in too?

Ha ha. I'm an instructor and I'm totally guilty of the singing thing. Only some songs. And not in any way that could be construed as though I'm still hoping to be discovered one day. Grin

I don't air guitar though - my arms are usually busy! Confused

JambalayaCodfishPie · 29/06/2012 22:08

What class?

Request Leonard Cohen as a backing track, that will nip any merriment in the bud. Alternatively, laugh along with someone having fun.

You sound a right barrel of laughs.

I go to a spinning class in which the instructor gets off the bike in order to grapevine across the floor or bust some moves, whilst saying 'who remembers this one?' to stoney silence.

From pre/post discussion, every class member thinks he is a complete tit.

It's very, very irritating.

AnnaMosity · 29/06/2012 22:14

I like it. Any diversion. Although I'd like a pump instructor who goes around to say UP YOUR WEIGHTS. Oi "you at the back you're doing it wrong "

Oh I LOVE a bit of fun during a work out - lighten up a bit

Flyingwithoutwings · 29/06/2012 22:20

Singing along - yes (if it's a good song I sing too)
But not air guitar, that should be illegal worldwide Wink

Oh dear. I think you might need a grip!

I'd find it hilarious and laugh my butt off (I think.)

Maybe you were on a hidden camera show?
The class need a secret plan to...what is it called when a large group of people begin to sing and dance somewhere public? Do that! Have others come in from other classes too. Grin

HecateHarshPants · 30/06/2012 07:56

are you meant to copy her?

Wouldn't that be funny if the whole class just did air guitar back Grin

OOAOML · 30/06/2012 09:05

Do you go to my Zumba class??? I don't mind her singing but in general I don't have the breath to sing along even if I wanted to...

catgirl1976 · 30/06/2012 09:18

I think you might go to my Zumba class too

But I love it when she sings and does air guitar

And I sing along too ............sooooooo

Miserable sod.

gamerwidow · 30/06/2012 11:44

Don't be so miserable, exercise is supposed to be fun. I like it when my instructor does daft things, makes the class more friendly.

Goofus · 30/06/2012 11:54

I think I would actually piss myself laughing!
YABU if this genuinely bothers you. But I suspect you find it a tad amusing too. Grin
